Notes
'Korona' rose (Rosa 'Korona') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. Orange-red blooms are fragrant and appear in late spring, summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Reimer Kordes bred it in 1955.
Pairs well with Blue Chiffon rose of sharon, Fountain grass, and Spurge.
